2016 Presidential Election News

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell urged Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday to jump into “fiscal cliff” talks in hopes of breaking an impasse that threatens Americans with sharply higher income taxes come January 1.In a brief speech on the Senate floor, McConnell complained that Democrats had not yet placed a counter-offer to a new Republican proposal, delivered at 7 pm on Saturday, “despite the obvious time crunch.”“I’m concerned about the lack of urgency here,” the Kentucky lawmaker said. “I think we all know we’re running out of time.”

The Congress has to start working together. Over the last year Republicans have proposed many different bills to avoid the fiscal cliff. In that time Democrats have proposed zero bills. How can Democrats or even Obama and Biden say that the bills the Republican's proposed are not bipartisan enough when they have not introduced one bill to avoid the fiscal cliff.
